As owners continue in their attempt to lower costs and balance the books, the popularity to hand over the crewing and operating management is on the rise.

But in the current economic climate, only the best ship managers will flourish. This is why V.Ships’ success story is continuing to thrive.

This is our vision of our business and above all, our passion.
